A captivating concert by the popular Martin Blanchet Jazz Quintet, whose hushed ambience will enchant your early summer evenings. Their performances explore a wide variety of musical genres, from jazz to classical, with touches of world music. Renowned for their recognizable jazz arrangements of the classic French repertoire, they will offer you an unforgettable evening, recreating the intimate atmosphere of a Parisian café – outdoors, under the summer sky.
It will also be one of Martin’s last concerts before his departure: a very special opportunity to come and say hello and goodbye.
7:00 pm – Flora Luna
Flora Luna (aka Geneviève Freynet) is an award-winning artist from Winnipeg, Manitoba, offering lush alternative pop in French and English. Winner of the Réseau des grands espaces/Festival Les oreilles en pointe (France) award, she launched her international career with an acclaimed reception in 2024. Nominated for three Prix Trille Or in 2025, she has established herself as a rising voice on the Franco-Canadian music scene. A semi-finalist at the Festival international de la chanson de Granby and winner of Chant’Ouest in 2022, she has performed at major festivals, including the TD Winnipeg International Jazz Festival, the Festival de la chanson de Tadoussac, the Coup de cœur francophone festival, opening for Vincent Vallières, and the Festival du Voyageur, where she opened for Jill Barber.
9:00 pm – Kourage
Kourage is the stage name of singer-songwriter Benoit Ouellet, originally from Bas-Saint-Laurent (Rivière-du-Loup). His music is a cross between indie pop and French-language pop-rock, tinged with emotion and sensitivity.
His musical universe is introspective and often inspired by personal journeys, tackling themes such as love, break-ups and life cycles, in a style that is both melodic and catchy.
Kourage’s stage presence is both energetic and vulnerable, with a slightly enigmatic artistic persona that contributes to its singular identity.
and for the first time, an Après-festi to keep the party going
even after the concerts have finished.
